Lego mindstorms books to go.[gone]

By isotope

July 7, 2011

Ok, I've got these two books about Lego mindstorms as a prize for my LadyBugBot winning the RobotBox online competition lying around for a long time. Now, as I dig them out, I definitely know I will not be reading them for a long time... So, they are looking for a new owner, who is interested in Lego NXT. The books are:

CubeStormer!

By OddBot

May 14, 2011

I loved legos as a kid and had them for as long as I can remember. Perhaps I've become jaded but it takes a lot for anything made of legos to really impress me.

CubeStormer did it! It moved so fast I wondered 2 things.

1. did they glue the legos together, surely it should fly apart at that speed?
2. did they loosen and lubricate the cube? (they did that for another lego robot I saw)

Either way it moves like a piece of expensive industrial equipment.

The Lego Great Ball Contraption

By Ro-Bot-X

February 28, 2011

Robotics people sometimes are asked to be a Robot Show presenter. They look for ideas of what might get people interested in robotics. Here is an idea of a great show built using Lego robots and other contraptions, called the Cooperative Cybernetic Crate Contraption, by the SMART group, but one can be inventive and build something similar, probably less spectacular, using regular robots and contraptions.

Cute Lego Felt Tip Printer

By ignoblegnome

June 2, 2010

A friend forwarded this to me. Cool application of Lego to make a printer. The video author's comment on YouTube:

"Lego felt tip 110" printer connected to an Apple Mac. This is not a kit you can buy and does not use MindStorms. I designed/built/coded it all from scratch including analog motor electronics, sensors and printer driver, the USB interface uses a "wiring" board.

Once again, this is not my work. I'm just posting something I found cool.

Mindstorm NXT 2.0 N900 - Twitter-controlled Robot

Nokia ran a competition that asked hackers and modders to push their new device, the N900, to its limits. Judges selected the three best submissions and one of those was 'NIKO The N900 Robot' - a robot controllable through commands on Twitter built out of Lego NXT Mindstorm 2.0.

"Moooo" Rare Swiss Cow Project has begun

By Gareth

December 18, 2009

Following on from the Laser Experiments i have decided to attach it to some kind of walking Robot.

I am now a avid fan of Theo Jansen - after rik brought him to light in his Blog.

So far i have Prototyped two pairs of "Theo" legs using "MindStorms" as an experimental base.

It worked better than i could have imagined - these legs go like a Cow on its way to the milking parlour.........

Only problem now is what medium shall i use to make the final version.....
